5. Genre- Pop

Pop

Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form in the United States and United Kingdom during the mid-1950s. The terms "popular music" and "pop music" are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many styles.

James Arthur 
James Andrew Arthur is a British singer and songwriter who won the ninth series of The X Factor in 2012. His debut single, "Impossible", was released by Syco Music after the final and debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart in its first week of release. Since then, it has gone on to sell over 1.4 million copies in the UK, making it the most successful winner's single in the show's history and has sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide.

This is a hybrid Music video, "Say you won't let go". This goes along the story lines of not wanting to lose a loved one. The music video weaves between three main stories that I noticed. The first one was of a couple been shown at a long shot and close ups. The second one being family there is more than one shown which was a babe and dad, mother and children. The third one is of an old member of the family in hospital. There were some other similar stories in-between but these were the ones which stood out to me. All three stories have the same meaning to how the people are feeling, which is that they don't want to lose a person that they love very much. The performance base part of the music video is that we see James play he's guitar and singing. The props that are used in this music video are a guitar which is the instrument that James uses to play. The Chain-smokers


The Chain-smokers are an American DJ/production duo consisting of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall. The EDM-pop duo achieved a breakthrough with their 2014 song "#Selfie", which was a top twenty single in several countries. Their debut EP, Bouquet was released in October 2015 and featured the single "Roses", which reached the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100."Don't Let Me Down" became their first top 5 single there and won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording at the 59th awards ceremony, while "Closer" became their first number-one single on the chart.
This is a Hybrid based Music video, "Paris". This goes along the story lines of getting away from life. The music video goes from the story to the Chain-smokers singing. There are no main props that are used in the music video. The video focuses on the setting to tell the story. The location we see the female character is in a floating house as it helps her to escape from reality, but when she wants to return back she jumps out of the house falling though the sky. The performance based part is located in a filed as the band is singer the song. The two half's of the music video are connected together as the music artiest look up at the floating house in the sky. The music video finishes with her falling on to her bed. This is to show the panic is all over now. When looking at the band sing they are shown though variations of camera shots, this is to compensate for the lack of movement they are doing as it is a performance.
The Weekend

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye  known professionally as The Weekend, is a Canadian singer, songwriter and record producer. In late 2010, Tesfaye anonymously uploaded several songs to YouTube under the name "The Weekend". He released three nine-track mix tapes throughout 2011: House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence, which were critically acclaimed. In 2012, he released a compilation album Trilogy, thirty tracks consisting of the premastered mix tapes and three additional songs. 

This is a performance based Music video, "Can't feel my face". This goes along the story lines of trying to win the girl in the audience that he likes. The props that are used in this music video are a micro phone as 'The Weekend' is performing to an audience. This is to show he is the main and only singer in the video. The props that are used by the audience are drinking glasses and cigarettes. This is to confirm that the location is in a bar, as these are stereotypical items that would be used in a bar. The location of the music video is in an upmarket bar. I know this because of the Mes en scene, the tables are lit up, the area is clean and has a professional stage but as the stage isn't big this suggest it is a bar not a club. The music video ending is of ‘The Weekend' running out of the bar on fire. This shows him lighting up the atmosphere as the audience come to life.
